Zwave 500 series dongle.

[travlynman]

When can I expect the Zwave 500 series dongle to be available.  Thus far all that I have gotten is time wasters and dead ends...

Another question: Why not make a 700 series dongle available? I received notice of a company shipping a device with the 700 series chip last week.So...?

It would still need to be designed, tested and configured to work with the isy. It would also need to pass zwave certification with the isy since it's embedded. Both takes lots time and money.

While the 994 won't be discontinued anytime soon, it's closer to eol than it's beginning. Why dump money into design and so forth when their future product is already out which is Polisy. 

Michel has stated they will be using a 700 series dongle with that once the time comes for the port
